SUNDAY 25TH OCTOBER 2009

im well up for that! marc that was down with me last weekend is gona come down aswell. gobbins beach shud be good craic lookin foreward to that!

Should be up

Will be there!

regretably this is another shoot I am unable to attend, sorry chaps.
Give em hell! lol

andy that was down with me on sun the 11th is going to be attending now aswell, so thats me, marc and andy all going.

IM THERE

May I suggest homeland defence team tursn out in Falklands kit (68 DPM parkas/windproofs or smocks & trousers, CEFO webbing, SLRs, para-type helmets) for the Gobbins shoot, we want to look our best for the visitors! I need to get some pics too for the work staff mag which is gonna take an article.

IM WITH IVOR FALKLANDS PARA KIT

If the regulars all come with para kit, with those who have SLRs and 58 pattern wearing it and the rest with whatever they have,that oughta do it. I think we have more SLRs than SA80s - still can't persuade Sam to invest in one and Ross has sold his...BTW way mate, where's YOUR SA80???

I think that if the SA80 was given a little attention and upgraded it would be better than the SLR for airsoft, due to its relatively long barrel and decent accuracy, it is a better weapon for the FIBUA area of the site than the SLR due to it being more compact, I will admit they do break down but it is a bit like buying an Alfa Romeo, you buy it out of passion for cars, simply because of what they stand for, certainly not because the cars are good because lets face it, a fair few of them arn't, its the same with the SA80, you buy it to add to your collection of classic British kit, and no matter how crap you think it is, if you game it British kit, it stands to reason that you should get an SA80 to complete the image. All I am saying is have patience with it, they do have problems but to be honest I think they are arguably one of the most attractive weapons on the market for airsoft.

this is very true.

BUT

its like moving from an alfa to a 1988 Yugo, its so fugly.

i'm going tomorrow bitches!

still trying to get the weekender off...

Well said, young sir! And while the SA80 lacks the supreme elegance and great ergonomics of the SRL, it's got a certain functional beauty in my eyes, like a Scarcen, an SE5a, or a KGV class battleship.

NOW FOR MY SAY!!!


SA80-UGLY
SA80-UNRELIABLE
SA80-MAG IN THE WRONG PLACE
SA80-NO GOOD FOR LEFT-HANDED PEOPLE
SA80-CAN'T KILL AN ELEPHANT
SA80-PISS POOR FOR CQB,DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT HAS NO STOPPING POWER.

SLR-LONG AND SLENDER
SLR-RELIABLE
SLR-BIG ASS MAG WITH BIG ASS ROUNDS
SLR-SUITS LEFT-HANDED PEOPLE
SLR-CAN! KILL AN ELEPHANT
SLR-BACK BONE OF THE BRITISH ARMY IN A CQB ENVIROMENT,SIMPLY YOU CAN SHOOT THROUGH WALLS AND KILL PEOPLE.
POINT OF FACT,CQB IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE WALLS THEY HIDE BEHIND.

I thought this thread was about the Sunday 25 October shoot.

OHHHHH! JUST CAUSE YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT

only one way to stop this arguement...





BOOM!

Boris

SA80 is the best period, Dazzle has spoken.

Now that is a way to end an argument.

SA80 players have got that great taste, similar to people that drive Jaguars and Range Rover Sports, I will grant that the SLR is an extremely nice piece of kit and I did say that, in fact I cannot remember slagging it in any way.

and Boris, ermm no, lets face it the AK47 is not even in the same league bud lol, I want a weapon that is going to give me a suprise every now and then lol, the AK is too reliable.
